... disk-shaped Bhu-mandala) may look unrealistic, careful study shows that the Bhagavatam uses Bhu-mandala to represent at least four reasonable and consistent models: (1 ) a polar-projection map of the Earth globe, (2 ) a map of the solar system, (3 ) a topographical map of south-central Asia, and (4 ) a map of the celestial realm of the demigods.

582. "Following The Precedent Of One Galileo". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... not value them highly if they should speak adversely. They squabble among themselves- these philosophers of the ancient times and of the fragmentary records. But it is hard to quarrel with a differential equation, or with numbers; and therefore the trained astronomers and physicists, almost to the last man, will insist on the fallacy of Dr. Velikovsky's celestial mechanics. Even the planetarium lecturer, who is almost totally unknown to astronomers, was evasive in his not unfavorable comments. In signing off I again apologize for the vigor of my language; but following the precedent of one Galileo, I stand fast on the evidence and assertions that Venus did not participate in the stopping of the rotating ...
583. Views In Brief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . He draws our attention also to estimates of the age of the Dead Sea (e .g . in KRONOS VI:4 , pp.40-46) of about 4000 years (or less). 4. Was Venus a twin? This interesting idea comes from K. A. LeFlem of Norwich who declares Velikovsky's view of the celestial battle as a head versus tail struggle as lacking in conviction. Mr LeFlem believes there is definitely at least one other body associated with Venus, and sometimes two. As examples he cites the "birth" of Epaphus from Io; the sons of Venus, Eros and Anteros; the twins Apollo and Artemis. He thinks Venus may ...
584. Holocaust for Lucifer [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the one-generation-younger Immanuel Velikovsky followed his example on the collective. His Revision of Ancient History, deriving from an analysis of events (in the volumes of the "Ages in Chaos" series; cf. P.A .F . Infos. 6 and 8) brought to light the experiences repressed by the human collective - catastrophes caused by celestial bodies - of which one of the most terrible was the worldwide conflagration caused by Venus at the beginning of the 15th Century BCE, at the time of the Israelite exodus from Egypt (in the books "Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheaval"; cf. P.A .F . Infos. 1 to 5 ...
585. Failure of a Concept? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... produce less assailable, perhaps even watertight portrayals of a chosen theme. PETER JAMES: Walk, don't run I fail to see how Mr Marx can deny that a discussion of the revised chronology involving historical methodology, Biblical studies, Anatolian archaeology, Egyptology, Astronomy and Radiocarbon Dating is interdisdplinary! (And this, not counting the debate on celestial mechanics held the following day.) I am also curious to know what Marx means by "quasi-disciplined", particularly in view of his bizarre statement that the "Velikovsky Affair" has demonstrated that "the so-called scientific method is unreliable". If we abandon scientific methods, how does Marx propose we evaluate Velikovsky's theories? Guesswork? ...
... , as other accounts say, Tartessus in the \vest-at the termination of their thirteen years' war against the gods. In this same area, be it noted, Enoch perceived a river of fire, a matter into which we will inquire later. Enoch, a seer or astronomer like Noah, is represented as having been warned by celestial indications of the fate shortly in store for mankind. He was concealed, "and none of the children of men knew where he was hidden and his activities had to do with the watchers and his days were with the Holy Ones" -the celestial bodies. He learnt that "all the children of men may not perish through ...
587. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of seasons; Ephialtes: horrendous clouds; Encelade: ravaging waters; Porphyrion: fracturing of the earth; Mimas: the downpours of water; Rhaecus: the great wing. Horus, son of Osiris, helped his mother as much as he could to restore man to his happier pursuits [1 ]. The original cause was a huge celestial body. It was an age-breaking period, one of the two worst, but the high energy forces were always the same, in all the periods of chaos and creation. The first chapter offered grounds to doubt the stability of the solar system in the past. The present chapter introduces - but only for recognition and as a prelude ...
588. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... and scientists were not to suffer a severe decline in the public's estimate. Velikovsky himslef was to state some years later, in his own evaluation of the cause of the scientists' intense opposition to his theories, that he "was . . . carrying my heresy into the most sacred field, the holy of holies of science, to celestial mechanics...." Velikovsky's popularity and the great appeal his books held for the public stemmed not only from his challenge to science but also from his scholarly credentials, which placed him far above the common, run-of-the-mill cranks who continuously bombard the public with tracts supporting such nonsensical ideas as a flat or hollow earth, astrology, ...

590. Mars in Upheaval [Journals] [Aeon]
... between the two planets was of a transitory nature, it is to be expected that one of the smaller planet's hemispheres would have been far more greatly subjected to these tidal influences than the other. Velikovsky maintained that cratering is not only an impact event but is, by and large, a volcanic one, caused by tidal interactions between large celestial bodies. The uniformitarian scientists vigorously maintain that Mars' craters are primarily ancient impact events. They argue that the shapes of the craters that are observed can only be accounted for by impacts. They also maintain that shocked crystals of rock found in and around craters on the Moon could only have an impact origin. Nevertheless, there is ...
